So I'm pondering buying this
and some of the Chinese Funda 3T copies for use as a fixed TT bike and perhaps also on the track. The geo here says the BB drop is 61mm, which would just get past the 11" / 280mm minimum BB height for track.
The rear mech hanger is removable, it has rear facing drop outs... the only problem I can see is the front mech braze-on, but according to the Manchester velodrome info, this can be padded and taped up. Obviously I'd have different wheels / tyres for road and track.
Is the geo at all suited to track cycling? Is this a stupid idea? All advice and answers welcome...
